The chief secret of her charm, however, lies in her personal brightness and vivacity. You must see her and hear her to appreciate her attractiveness.

Who has been delighting large audiences at Cremorne Gardens. A few months ago, however—and here the story begins—her most devoted admirers were forced to admit that her per: formances lacked! something of their former sparkle and animatioti. Many of her personal acquaintances, indeed, fancied that she was weighed down by some secret grief or worry, and it was very evident to all that she was depressed in mind as well as in body. "I struggled on with my profession for a long time," said Miss Le Mar when talking with a friend 1 in her home at 288, Hay Street, Perth, " but I failed to pick up. At times I found it quite impossible to infuse the necessary spirit into my songs. My appetite became extremely capricious and I suffered from languor and terrible headaches, but," added the young artiste with one of her winsome smiles, "fortunately one day I bought a box of Dr Williams' pink pills. I was simply delighted with the result. Two 'boxes braced me up beautifully and gave me back my lost strength and spirit. Weakness and depression left me and I regained any appetite and colour. In future I shall always know what to do when overwork robs me of my health and energy." Miss Le Mar had fallen a victim to the extreme heat of W. Australia and the arduous nature of her profession. Many others like her are run down now at the end of the warm weather. Their life blood is at a.low ebb.
